How Mantis behaves under real light

Under warm 2700K interior light Mantis shifts subtly: leans toward yellow; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.7), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Test Mantis in the color lighting simulator — sweep it through daylight, warm 2700K light, 4000K LED, and shade alongside the rest of your palette.

Contrast & accessibility

Against white it measures 2.16:1 and against black 9.74:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid white text on this color entirely.

Colors that go with Mantis

Tonal

One color explored: close hues with real lightness and chroma structure, so the palette is the anchor through value rather than a set of colors.

#d7ffd0 · #96df88 · #74c365 · #4a903d · #2a691d · #0b4500

Analogous

The anchor's neighbours on the wheel — everything shares an undertone, so the chord carries color without anything having to be muted to get along.

#77ecca · #6dd99b · #74c365 · #87a83c · #8f8d17 · #8e7300

Shifted

The mid-gap pairing — sage and mustard, terracotta and olive. A foil rotated 40–65° toward warm or cool: too far to be kin, too near to argue, carried by temperature and a deliberate value offset.

#74c365 · #519c9a · #428135 · #00615f · #0b4600 · #002726

Contrast

One deliberately opposed voice — a single restrained counterpoint across the wheel, or temperature against temperature where the anchor is too muted to carry a loud opposite.

Quiet Support

The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.

Bright Accent

This color as a ground rather than a subject — its own restraint held across a narrow value band, carrying one saturated voice from the opposite temperature.

#f7eff8 · #cfc5d1 · #a298a5 · #2a1d2c · #07010a · #74c365

Complementary

The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.

#d6d7b2 · #74c365 · #8f9f71 · #c1479b · #393256 · #20050a

Split-complementary

The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.

#b2d9ee · #74c365 · #d76ab0 · #787598 · #2b3551 · #04110e

Triadic

Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.

#ebf2ff · #74c365 · #6590da · #992631 · #4b000b · #000012

Tetradic

Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

Using Mantis

Its chroma is high enough to carry accents, calls to action, and focal moments; large fields of it will dominate a composition. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
